Let's see. Up until about 1986 he was snorting coke and/or getting loaded with regularity, all the while engaging in a series of failed businesses for which the money was put up by Daddy's friends. Then he found Jesus, who told him to trade Sammy Sosa and bilk the Texas taxpayers into publicly financing a stadium boondoggle. Then he got elected governor in a state where the governor's biggest responsibility is signing death warrants. Then he became president and sat paralyzed for seven minutes while the nation was under attack, after which he flew to Nebraska at the vice president's order. Then he cut Daddy's taxes and increased spending. Oh and he went to war on false pretenses and claimed victory by taking a 30-mile flight on a fighter, after which several hundred more American troops died and continue to die.
Oh my bad. That's the other guy.
How about: went to law school, became a prosecutor, became lieutenant governor, and was elected to four terms in the United States Senate?
